Poly High School

Future Sun Devil Family Day opens the door to college. On Saturday, Sept. 16 at Arizona State University's Downtown Phoenix campus, middle and high school students and their parents can attend Future Sun Devil Family Day from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

ASU Preparatory Academy was chartered to demonstrate that all students can achieve at the highest levels. If you visit any of our campuses in the Phoenix metro area, you will see a video playing in our lobbies that showcases what our schools are all about. If you haven't seen it yet, we encourage you to watch it here!

On Monday, Aug. 21, 2017, the moon will pass in front of the sun and cast a shadow on all of North America, coast-to-coast, for the first time since 1918. Solar eclipses occur when the moon blocks any part of the sun and – weather permitting – the entire continent will see this once-in-a-lifetime eclipse. (The next total eclipse for United States observers is on April 8, 2024, visible only in the eastern half of the country.)

Arizona will see a 63% solar eclipse, starting at 9:14 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m. The max eclipse will take place at 10:34 a.m.

This week, teachers have returned to campus to prepare for the new school year. They are meeting with the new faculty and staff joining our team this year, participating in professional development training, and preparing classrooms and curriculum for students' return. Part of the fun in getting set for a new school year means getting to know where everything is located on campus, especially the best selfie spots with Sparky!
